Hello, Kathleen! Thanks so much for your comments. This often happens to me with photos that I take.... I have a hard time settling on a final image, which is why I find usefilm so valuable.
This photo was taken on a business trip to phoenix, and unfortunatly I didn't have much time to explore anything other than the hotel grounds (where this statue was).
I am, though, returning to phoenix this next weekend where I hope to find some of that natural habitat you mentioned. I'm going to take your suggestion and try this same treatment on some more cactii of interesting shapes, and I look forward to seeing what you think about them.
Thanks again!

gosh, Blakely, i know what you mean...sometimes we like an image. it won't leave us alone. It's got defects and flaws like crazy so we try and try to make it work. i think you actually did make it work here. The tall centered cactus fading into the light is really nice and your centered composition works as well. Why not try this same treatment on a series of cactii taken in an actual desert habitat, with grasses and rock and sand strewn about in a random way, as only mother nature can arrange her landscape. i'll bet you'd turn out some fine images. Best regards: kat~

This is a beautifully composed shot, with the ferry just reaching the point on the horizontal axis where the buildings end, with the wake continuing a line to the right edge of the frame. The edge of the inlet on the right just reaching the line of the land's end of the city. Perfectly balanced. And then there's that magical lighting... Excellent shot.

I like the idea. I have the sensation the the dish gets smaller along with the fruits, funny. But that's just an optical illusion.

I gotta say I like what you have done here. It looks to me like an antique postcard...I don't know if that was the intent but the whole effect is very cool. K

I think, this technique is interesting. In some plots looks like topographic map, but that is not bad. I just preffer other frame - with not so small pattern. I think so...

hey, it's pretty creative. Hell, people shoot pictures of bugs. You could always shoot pics of yourself dissing the lemon, or squeezing it and throwing it around the house...

Blakely,
I don't know about the angle, I think it may introduce a unacceptable degree of disorder and chaos into an otherwise perfect composition. Also the lemon seems a bit small, overwhealmed by the plate (see below).
Taking a large bite of the lemon will usually cure boredom, at least temporarly.
Great Work!!
reguards,
ray w.

Heya Stephen.... I did actually choose the slight diagonal of the background. I didn't like it perfectly horizontal or vertical, and I thought the diagonal would be a subtle point. I'm glad you like it, simple as it may be.... perhaps on my next day of severe boredom I'll add a lime, or maybe be even more daring and try a non-citrus

I like it, nice color contrast, I like the table covering texture and color contrasting with the white plate and then the nice deep yellow of the lemon. I can see this hanging in my kitchen right now. If I can get a bit stranger, did you intentionally do the slight diagonal not to be a 45 or 90 degree angle. It almost makes me feel like the plate is sliding down the screen viewed vertically as it is. I get almost a motion feeling when I look at the background instead of the plate.
